Throughout their history, the Big Ten and SEC have been known as ground-and-pound leagues, and that certainly should be the case this season. The conferences are loaded with productive running backs.
So, which league is the best this season when it comes to running backs? Well, we broke down each of the 10 FBS leagues in four ways. First, we picked the top running back in each league. We listed running backs who already are in the top tier nationally (for this exercise, “top tier” means one of the top 10 nationally). We listed running backs who could move into the top tier.
